Evaluation Methodologies and Activities
Most people who write grants understand basic evaluation tools like tests (pre and post), pre and post surveys which measure a change in knowledge and attitude. But there is a much broader palate of evaluation methodologies and evaluation tools that can be used to paint a more complete picture of program implementation and effect.
In this training, Julie Assel, GPC, will discuss these tools, their purpose, and the best ways to use them. She will discuss the best time and way to do formative and summative evaluation (Reason and Approach) and the evaluations necessary to achieve varying levels of evidence-based upon requirements such as What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). Some of these approaches can be completed in-house, while others will need a professional external to the organization, and she will also discuss how to select an external evaluator and evaluate their cost proposals.
